Eric Adams is running with the wind.
The mayor is pleading with President Trump to relive a wind farm on the coast of Long Island that was Arrested by the administration In the midst of construction last week.
The resuscitation of the Empire Wind project would feed the power in the marine terminal of South Brooklyn “Large Live-Subutilized”, juice of up to 500,000 homes and create more than 1,000 jobs that pay good, Adams said.
“This project reinvested on the work coast of Brooklyn and advances a more reliable electricity network to meet our greatest energy demands,” the mayor told The Post of the project, which had already received lease and previous approval permission from Tourp’s Returny.
“Our administration is also in contact with the US department. Uu. To interact with them directly in this,” Adams said.
Critics have accused Adams of accepting Trump while his justice department moved to withdraw a case of criminal corruption against the mayor, which Led to your dismissal.
But Hizzer, a Democrat who postulates for re -election as independent, differs with Trump in wind energy.
Trump issued an executive order in January to block all sewing projects on the high seas and review the current ones. Meanwhile, Adams has supported the wind project since before being elected as mayor, when he served as President of the Municipality of Brooklyn.
After the Department of Interior closed Empire Wind, Adams with Jens Økland, interim executive vice president of renewables with the developer based in Norwegian Equinor, the developer who had already begun the construction of the foundation to erect 54 wind of wind of wind.
An equinor spokesman said the project would invest $ 1.6 billion in the state economy.
“The United States completely approved the project in early 2024 and the construction is more than 30 percent complete,” said the spokesman. “We will get directly involved with all relevant interested parties to understand the questions raised by the federal government about the permits that we have appealed from the authorities.”
The company said the construction continues at the Marine Terminal of South Brooklyn, where work is more than 50 percent complete.
Even so, the project is seeing back of the Long Island commercial fishing industry and the Republicans with Trump links, including Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman. They have argued that the turbines would make life.
And the president has not shown signs of softening his position on the industry and the Secretary of the Interior, Doug Burgum, had said that there were “serious problems” with the approval of the Biden administration of the wind farm that, according to him, were completed “without a sufficient analysis or consultation.”
The Interior Department did not have immediate comments on the appeal of ADAMS to relive the expansion of victory to boost renewable energy.
The Empire Wind suspension, even temporarily, is a setback for mandates in the New York Green Energy Law.
According to the climatic law, New York must reduce greenhouse gas emissions 40% by 2030 and have 100% zero emissions electricity by 2040.
The rules also require that the state of the empire generate 9,000 megawatts of wind energy on the high seas by 2035, 6,000 megawatts of solar energy by 2025 and build 3,000 megawatts of energy storage by 2030.
Environmental Protection of the United States LEE ZELDIN ADMINISTRATOR Called the schedules in the New York Law “Deluste” and a “Left Recipe for an Energy and Economic Catastrophe”.
